Old Favorites & New

Over 120 breweries under one roof.

The longest running brewfest in Central New York is back again for year 22! Often imitated but never duplicated, the CNY brewfest is kicking it up a notch again this year. Lots of new breweries added and more attendance by representatives of the breweries themselves to pour and answer questions.

Two sessions to choose from on Saturday February 10th:

SESSION ONE- 1pm-4pm

Soul Risin’-

Soulgrass jam band fronted by singer/songwriter Bryan Weinsztok. Thriving off of their live shows, the group brings together an array of musical influences to get any venue grooving. From southern rock to funk, blues, reggae and bluegrass jams, with a touch of genuine soul, they take it to new levels on stage with creative improv & jams leaving fans craving more.

Session Two- 6pm-9pm

Mike Powell & the Black River-

On a stormy October night in 2016 five New York based musicians from different musical backgrounds and experiences met under a disco ball in a smoky warehouse space to make music. What they found was true chemistry and a shared synergistic emotion that flowed organically between their instruments. As the rain beat against the cracked windows and the street lights crept through the glass the music just kept pouring and pouring. The musicians felt there was something special about this formation – the vibe was natural and pure – LIKE A RIVER. Over the course of the next few months The Black River continued to tighten their bond as musicians and friends. The music got tighter and the nights got longer – they were having a blast playing together. Each member brings their own style to the stage to create a sound that is all their own. Calling on classic grooves and dirty soul sounds they create a haunting energy that oozes with creativity and connection.
